26.2.10 – British Embassy & Danish Language

This morning I headed into town earlier that usual. I had decided last night after talking to my mom about the London Internship program, to see if it were feasible for me to get my visa for London while I was in Copenhagen so that I would have it by the time I got back to the US and wouldn’t have to worry about it. To figure this out, I figured I would have to go to the British Embassy. I looked it up online and had a general idea of where it was located, so I was on an adventure to try to find it. It wasn’t too difficult to locate because the area where it is located is home to many embassies, which all had their respective flags flying. However, when I got to the embassy there was a huge guarded gate in front. The guard walked up to me and asked I had an appointment. I said, “No, I just have a question.” The guard was actually very polite and informative. Long story short, I think I can get my visa processed in Copenhagen, which would make coordinating documents for a summer in London much easier. I still don’t know exactly what I am going to do, but this definitely adds a different twist to the picture.

After that adventure, I made my way to school with a couple hours to spare. I spent the time completing some last minute studying for my Danish quiz, which let me say was not worth the stress and energy I put into for studying for the darn thing. I went to my Danish class at 1:15, and found that my regular professor was not there. Now him and his wife have been expecting a baby, which was actually due last week, so our class was waiting for the day when he wouldn’t be in class. Instead, there was an intern who simply handed us our quiz, said we had 30 minutes to complete it, and when we were done we could leave. It was rather easy, and it took me only about 15 minutes. I then went back over to the lounge in DIS to wait for about an hour until my second class of the day, which was rather uneventful although I think this was probably the first class I can say our professor sort or taught us something.

After class, I simply came home, talked to my dad on Skype, watched a couple ‘Bones’ episodes, ate dinner, and now I am about to crash. I was going to go over to the hojskole tonight, however I am starting to feel very tired and simply want to relax and go to bed early. Afterall, I need to rest up for a busy week in London next week!
